How's the *SINGLE* player on it? I kind of think this was the game with a really lame single player, like not even any bases or resources or something in single player? That's the part I like best, so....

And does the retail game have activation? Does this one have any DRM BESIDES Steam?

I tried the demo for this on the 360, and thought it was unplayable...but that's 'cause of the game pad so I might like this fine.

can anyone confirm how a GFW game works with steam? Do you still sign onto xbox live? Do you get xbl achievements through the steam version?

If it's anything like Fallout 3(which used GFW), it installs the GFW UI, then in order to go online with the game(for F3, it was achievements, I assume its achieves + multiplayer for this game), you have to input the CD-key, then log in to the UI. The game creates a profile linked to that account so you earn achievements and show up on the service(if you so choose).

Just a PC Gamer on Steam and League of Legends. Always remember: Have fun, never at the complete expense of others.

Take my opinion with a grain of salt as I usually do not like RTS games, but I really enjoyed Universe at War. One of the few RTS games I've ever managed to play the entire campaign all the way through on. I liked it a lot more than Supreme Commander.
The graphics are very good, the factions are diverse, and the walkers are an absolute blast to play with. The limited zoom does suck, yeah, but if you can get past that the gameplay is awesome.
I do admit that I hated the storyline. Too camp for the art direction. Also the community is probably long since gone so I wouldn't expect to get much out of the online portion.

Still, well worth $5 for single player imho.

Cool, well single player's what I care about, so I think I'll pick it up (except I think I'll get the Amazon version for $2 more since someone pointed that out).
